Director J Blakeson worked with Gemma Arterton on the former's film directing debut, The Disappearance Of Alice Creed, and that worked okay for him — he's had a healthy career ever since. So you can imagine that they were looking for a way to collaborate again, and now they've found it via new crime thriller Culprits, which will be out via Disney+ in the UK and Hulu across the pond. The first trailer for the show has dropped and you can see it below:
Culprits, as the synopsis explains, kicks off where most crime stories end: after a high-stakes heist, when the crew of elite criminals have gone their separate ways and have tried to leave their old lives behind. Past and present collide when a ruthless assassin starts targeting them one by one. Why are they being stalked, who is behind the mayhem, and will they be able to find one another in time to protect themselves and the people they love?
Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Kirby (AKA Kirby Howell-Baptiste), Niamh Algar and Eddie Izzard are also among the cast for the show, which launches on Disney+ (in the UK, at least) on 8 November.
